Perhaps you could use tidy to clean up the formatting (use -wrap 0) before
attempting to strip out the stuff you want to get rid of.

Richard,
Looks like you need to read up on the modifiers for preg_* functions. Start
here: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php
I would change your "second line" regex to the following.
$content = preg_replace("/<p.*>/is", "<p>", $content);
The modifiers after the second / are
i = case-insensitive
s = include new lines in your '.' character match.
New lines are excluded by default.
Can't remember right now, nor do I have the time to test, you might need to
invert the greediness of the match using a 'U' after the second / also.
So...
$content = preg_replace("/<p.*>/isU", "<p>", $content);
YMMV
Let us know how this works out for you.
Jim Lucas
PS: you might want to swap the order of these two statements.

my old (still kinda active but not really) business was/is called
990WEBS, and my URL is www.990webs.ca / www.990webs.com is the url with
preceeding numerals an issue? or is this only numerals only?
it also is my business number :P 990-9327 (WEBS)
TheStapler.ca is also my domain... which is a my nickname (last name
is staples).... ANYWAY... way off topic there, was just wodnering about
the "legality" of my 990webs domains... since i can't think of any other
domains that start with numbers off the top of my head?

Ah, it was my mistake, I misread the spec. It's only the TLD that must
not be completely numeric, so that check can be taken out of the code I
gave earlier.

Newsgroup server response is terrible and has a strange behavior.
Response for first posting or two is fast, then it acts like it doesn't want to
give me any additional postings.
You fixed it about about 2 or 3 weeks ago; but issue has returned,

Hi Everyone, I'm having a problem validating some links I have in a foreach.
Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
my PHP code:
$categorys = array('home', 'services', 'gallery', 'about_us', 'contact_us',
'testimonials');
foreach($categorys as $category){
$replace = str_replace("_", " ", $category);
echo "<li><a href='index.php?page=$category'>$replace</a></li>";
}
Validator Error:
an attribute value must be a literal unless it contains only name characters
…ome>home</a></li><li><a href=index.php?page=services>services</a></li><li><a
h…
I have tried various combinatons and different doctypes. I'm beginning to
wonder if this code is allowed at all.

In this tag you aren't getting the href value enclosed in quotes which I
suspect would trigger the validator error.
<a href=index.php?page=services>

This is because you misspelled $categorys, where it should
actually be $categories. In some of the most recent updates to the
core, primarily by Felipe Pena, PHP will now, by default, kick out
errors in validation due to misspellings and incorrect grammar. To
override this, you must uncomment the following line in your system's
php.ini:
;human = true
This will allow the parser to understand that you're human, thus
capable of mistakes. Please keep in mind, however, that it's only
able to be set in php.ini. This is to keep bots and the like from
hijacking shared hosts, where an INI_PERDIR setting could potentially
be written to the local account by exploitation of a variety of means
(including, but not limited to, XSS, file inclusion, and SQL injection
techniques).
While it may seem a bit of a hassle to need to take this extra
step, we all agree that Felipe has done this with the best interests
of the community at heart. Having seen the substitutions of 'r' for
'are' and 'u' for 'you' (among many others), he has single-handedly
taken it upon himself to use PHP not only as a tool to assist in
technological projects, but as a means to teach proper spelling,
grammar, and even punctuation to the world (in PHP 7, semicolons will
be replaced by commas, periods, and question marks, as appropriate).
